[PATCH] md: make md threads interruptible again
Despite the fact that md threads don't need to be signalled, and won't respond to signals anyway, we need to have an 'interruptible' wait, else they stay in 'D' state and add to the load average. (akpm: the signal_pending() test is unneeded - we'll fix that up in the next round. For now, leave it there because that's how the code used to be).
